Douglas County school chief forges ahead amid whirlwind

Castle Rock council removes town board member

Superintendent Wise: ‘Strong leaders lead through’ challenging times

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Roughly seven years ago, Corey Wise was making the leap from high school principal in the Douglas County School District to working in central administration, but he hoped the new role wasn’t his last stop in a public education system.

One day, Wise said, he wanted to be a superintendent.

Little could he know that opportunity would arrive in the middle of a pandemic.

Months earlier, the health crisis had decimated public school budgets and drastically changed the way education was delivered.

county leaders say.

Shannon Breitzman, principal at Health Management Associates — a Denver-based independent national research and consulting firm specializing in publicly funded health care and human services policy — said Douglas County has set the example for Colorado and the nation in addressing the growing mental health crisis.

Breitzman commended the work Douglas County has put into developing a mental health program that works, because they

The Castle Rock Town Council continues to be at odds over the Downtown Review Board. In the latest round of division, the council voted 4-3 to remove Annamarie Engelhard from the Historic Preservation Commission, which also voids her ability to continue serving on the review board.

While the issue was not on the official agenda, Councilmember Desiree LaFleur made a motion to have Engelhard removed during the council discussion portion of the Nov. 16 meeting.

Prior to the start of the meeting, councilmembers were provided copies of emails Engelhard sent to Highline C.M. Inc., a housing developer planning to submit a site plan to the town for a 113-acre, 423-home development called Chateau Valley.

The prospective development will be located directly north of the Baldwin Park neighborhood and proposes to extend South Valley Drive.

LaFleur said the problem with Engelhard’s email is that it appears she was speaking on behalf of the Historic Preservation Board and the Downtown Review Board.

In the Oct. 31 email to Highline C.M., Engelhard said she is a District 4 resident and listed her board affiliations before expressing

Mental Health Initiative a step ahead in Douglas County Collaboration, years of planning went into government program

BY THELMA GRIMES TGRIMES@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Many states, cities and counties find themselves ill prepared to deal with the growing mental health crisis in America, but a proactive move by Douglas County in 2014 is helping the county meet needs today.

The Douglas County Mental Health Initiative was created seven years ago in hopes that adults and youth experiencing mental illness, struggling with substance abuse, or going through a short-term crisis would get help, and not be thrown aside and ignored.

Today, with the Mental Health Initiative (MHI) servng as an arm of county government, arrests of those struggling with mental illness are down, fewer hospitals beds are being needlessly filled and citizens are starting to accept that help is out there for a bad day, week, month, or full-blown crisis,

health agency was formed amid opposition by county commissioners to Tri-County Health COVID policies that they regarded as too stringent.

“The choice is this: Are we going to ignore the recommendation of medical experts everywhere and put the lives of vulnerable students in jeopardy? Or are we going to give all children a fair shot to succeed in person, in school, where they belong,” Wise said in a statement announcing the district had filed suit.

The long-simmering mask debate reached a fever pitch as Election Day drew near. At the last board meeting before polls closed, numerous people opposed to masking mandates called for the resignations of the full board and Wise.

One meeting regular sat in the middle of the audience periodically holding a sign above his head calling for Wise to resign.

The four board members elected Nov. 2, all of whom have questioned some district policies, said on Election Night they know Wise has taken different stances than they have but that they want to get to know him better. Each promised to work with Wise.

One of the election victors, Becky Myers, said the district has seen too much turnover in the superintendent’s office.

Myers echoed a comment Ray has made: That Wise is “homegrown,” someone who has been in Douglas County and the district for a long time and knows the community well.

“The district does not need another superintendent gone,” she said.

O’Connell, the former DCSD superintendent, said Wise is “the right leader for Douglas County, now and in the future. He’s the right person for the job.”

To people close with Wise, he’s the leader who stays behind to help custodians clean up. He prioritizes maintaining relationships with employees at every level of the system.

Wise also isn’t the sort to think he has all the answers, Ray said, and as a leader “he relies heavily” on the team around him.

Wise moved people from the building-level into his cabinet. Ray said that choice “solidified that fact, that we have great people in our organization who should be in those higher-level positions.”

Right away, some of Wise’s most important tasks would be addressing the trauma that students experienced during the pandemic and their learning loss, Ray said.

Looking at student performance would mean sending staff and teachers to delve into data troves, looking at which students need additional academic support and brainstorming about how to get it to them.

“That’s a big one,” Ray said.

FROM PAGE 1

Beyond navigating COVID-19, the DCSD was also implementing an equity policy aimed at ensuring “access to equitable and rigorous educational opportunities” and “an inclusive culture,” as the district puts it.

And a national debate about critical race theory in classrooms — something that DCSD insists it does not teach — was contributing to tense debates about the role of equity in education.

Around the time a string of area superintendents were leaving their posts, Wise was stepping up, throwing in for the permanent role at DCSD after serving as a co-leader and then interim superintendent following the departure of former Superintendent Thomas Tucker. He was named permanent superintendent in April and his term commenced May 12.

School Board President David Ray said near the school year’s start that Wise faced a climate where any decision he’d make would leave some people unhappy.

“Anybody that would step in at this time would have significant challenges,” Ray said. “Our community is a community that really is very polarized about lots of different issues.”

That trend tracked throughout the first six months of Wise’s tenure as permanent district superintendent.

But now he’ll be working under new leadership — a board majority that has vowed to steer DCSD in a differ-

ent direction.

Myriad issues culminated this November in a heated school board election that flipped the board majority from one willing to instate masking mandates and pursue equity in education, to a slate largely opposed to those issues, ones Wise had also advocated for.

“It’s a tough, tough job in education right now,” said Rick O’Connell, a former district superintendent and mentor to Wise. “Not just for super-

intendents.”

Navigating challenges O’Connell began mentoring Wise as he grew interested in a superintendency. Both are longtime district employees. O’Connell was the district’s superintendent for two decades and Wise has spent the entirety of his 26-year career with Douglas County Schools.

Throughout the years, O’Connell has watched Wise’s ascend district ranks. Wise began as a student teacher in 1996 and within a few years went from teacher to assistant principal to principal. In 2007, he opened Legend High School before transitioning to work as an executive director of schools.

While Wise mulled pursuing a superintendency, O’Connell’s advice was for him to stay true to his values, “regardless of the political consequence.”

School board directors across the county have been subject to everything from intense scrutiny to unfettered vitriol during the COVID-19 pandemic. In Douglas County, school district leaders including Wise have shared in the brunt.

As the district followed a TriCounty Health Department maskwearing requirement for students ages 2 through 11 in August, when Tri-County still oversaw COVID-19 policy in Douglas County, emails showed mounting pressure on Wise to fight the health order. That included promises of protests or voting for school board candidates who would consider removing him.

One person said they were organizing a pact of families who would refuse to comply, and that families would protest the policy by keeping children home on days the state conducted enrollment counts that determine DCSD’s per-pupil funding.

“Corey and leadership looks really bad right now,” another person wrote.

Come October, Wise stood firmly behind the district as it launched a federal lawsuit against the newly formed Douglas County Health Department, initiating a legal battle aimed at protecting the district’s ability to mandate masks. The

Wise’s priorities And in that vein, Wise and district leaders have held multiple meetings about grade-level performance among students and bolstering social-emotional programming in schools.

Excellence in reading is a priority for him, Wise told Colorado Community Media, and foundational to all other learning.

Wise sat down with a CCM reporter roughly three months after being named superintendent to discuss his background and goals for the district.

His late-summer days were filled with prepping staff for the start of a new school year. Teachers were coming back from summer break.

He called it exciting. The energy of being with people is “a cornerstone of what, you know, makes school great,” he said.

The 48-year-old educator from Parker spoke about fostering a strong professional learning community within the district. Teaching is a professional job, he said. Giving educators the ability to do their work in a meaningful way means giving them the time. He’d look at everything from the full academic year calendar down to the bell schedule to accomplish that, he said.

Wise’s philosophy is that “strong leaders lead through” challenging times, he said. He described himself as passionate. A strong personality.

Relational. Education is not just a job, he said. He sees the field as a lifestyle.

“I always knew what I wanted to do. And I wanted to teach,” he said.

Wise got into education because of the example set by his parents, both teachers.

“I grew up in a middle school,” he said.

There was also inspiration by way of educators who taught him as an “Aurora Public Schools kid.” He remembers them by name.

In college his studies focused on special education. When it came time to student-teach, he sought out “the best teacher I ever had,” who happened to

be at Ponderosa High School.

Wise interviewed to student-teach there while working toward his master’s degree in severe cognitive education, although he’d later switch to pursuing a master’s in administration, then was hired on as a fulltime teacher.

He tried to stay heavily involved in his year-and-a-half at Ponderosa High School, he said, because “that’s what great teachers do.” He coached, took on hall duty, went to plays and musicals.

Then as the district prepared to open Chaparral High School, Wise saw it as an opportunity to help establish a school’s culture and influence instructional decisions.

He applied for a head coach and teaching role and stayed at DCSD’s fifth high school for a decade. After three years of teaching, he moved into administration and left as an assistant principal to open the district’s ninth high school, Legend, as its founding principal.

Wise left the classroom because school leadership urged him to consider roles in administration, he said. He was young to be an assistant principal, and young to become a principal when he applied to lead Legend, he said. He still feels young as a superintendent, he said.

He hoped he could help bring the community together to tackle the district’s challenges, like boosting teacher pay to help recruit and retain the best educators. Wise said his goal would be forging a legacy as someone who took Douglas County Schools to the next level.

“My adult life, Douglas County has been in my life,” he said. “It’s who I am.”

Building a life together... forever.

Happy anniversary Rocky, I love you.

COUNCIL

FINAL DECISIONS ON PROJECTS

FROM PAGE 1

concerns with “seeing this lush land developed.”

“In anticipation of this coming development, I would like to express my hopes and concerns for how this new neighborhood will integrate into our community and discuss ideas how this project can be neighborly to the existing residents,” Engelhard said via email.

Besides the developer, Engelhard sent a copy of the email to City Manager David Corliss, the town council, Director of Planning Tera Vargish, Long Range Project Manager Julie Kirkpatrick, Senior Planner Sandy Vossler, Planning Manager Kevin Wrede, Planner Brad Boland and Director of Parks and Recreation Jeff Brauer.

After receiving the email, Vargish emailed Engelhard on Nov. 1.

In the return email, Vargish said, “Thank you for sending your feedback to all of us. I do need to ask you to confirm that your comments are your own personal comments as a resident of the town, and they are not comments on behalf of District 4, the Design Review Board, nor the Historic Preservation Board.”

In response, Engelhard said, “Thank you for letting me know about the confusion. I apologize for that and did not realize I was sending mixed messages. You are absolutely correct. My board references are disclosure only. My contribution is solely as a resident.”

In recent years, Castle Rock’s Design Review Board has made final decisions for some of the following development projects: • Encore - 465,500 square feet • Riverwalk South - 221,360 square feet • Riverwalk North - 171,206 square feet • The View - 88,000 square feet • The Move office - 72,800 square feet Even with the apology, LaFleur said Engelhard’s actions crossed boundaries. Mayor Pro Tem Kevin Bracken seconded LaFleur’s motion to remove Engelhard from the Historic Preservation Commission, agreeing that Engelhard stepped out of bounds. Bracken said she could have expressed her concerns directly during the neighborhood meetings the town has hosted regarding the proposed development.

Councilmember Caryn Johnson said removing Engelhard is an overreaction. Johnson said Engelhard’s emails clearly expressed her personal opinions.

Johnson questioned the process for the emails and how Vargish became the person designated to respond. Town Manager Corliss said Engelhard expressed her concerns to him and he suggested she write the developer an email.

After the email was sent, Corliss said LaFluer expressed her concerns with him regarding Engel-

hard listing her board affiliations in the signature portion of the Oct. 31 email.

Corliss said he then had a conversation with Vargish that led to her responding directly to Engelhard.

Councilmember Tim Dietz said he disagrees with the standards being applied to Engelhard when the same councilmembers voting to remove Engelhard did nothing to reprimand Downtown Review Board (DRB) member Garo Chalian.

In May, Councilmember Laura Cavey, the council liaison to the DRB, said she had concerns about Chalian asking town attorneys about suing council members speaking out against the DRB. Cavey, Johnson and Dietz said it is unfair to say nothing about Chalian’s behavior but punish Engelhard, who could use more training and direction to prevent such issues in the future.

“At least she apologized,” Johnson said. “I don’t believe (Chalian) even apologized to Councilmember Cavey. I think she’s being forthright and honestly admitting to it.”

LaFleur defended her motion, saying Cavey’s allegations boiled down to a “he said, she said” situation whereas Engelhard wrote everything in an email.

After discussion, the council voted 4-3 to approve LaFleur’s motion. Mayor Jason Gray, Bracken, LaFleur and Councilmember Ryan Hollingshead voted to remove Engelhard. Johnson, Dietz and Cavey voted against the measure.

On Nov. 23, the town’s Community Relations Manager Melissa Hoelting said that by removing

Engelhard from the Historic Preservation Commission, she is automatically removed from the DRB. Engelhard was the designee serving on the DRB from the Historic Preservation Commission.

As per town code, the Design Review Board is required to have: • One member from the Planning Commission • Two members from the Downtown Development Authority • Two members from the Historic Preservation Board • Two property owners within the Downtown Development Authority boundary The Castle Rock Town Council has continually disagreed over the DRB over the last two years.

Cavey, Dietz and Johnson have tried multiple times to change DRB operations. All attempts have failed in 4-3 votes.

Dietz, Cavey and Johnson believe the non-elected, volunteer DRB has too much power in having the final say in major downtown projects.

The three minority councilmembers have asked the council to approve decreasing DRB powers by moving any projects over 10,000 square feet to the council.

LaFleur, Gray, Bracken and Hollingshead have consistently voted to keep the status quo for the DRB. The four councilmembers say the DRB has proper oversight through town staff to decide how to proceed with downtown development proposals.

Engelhard did not attend the Nov. 16 meeting to address council concerns directly. She also did not return Colorado Community Media’s request for comment.

Residents of Sterling Ranch had the chance to see cowboys and cowgirls at work during a cattle drive in the community Nov. 21.

This was the first time that Sterling Ranch — a 3,400-acre development in western Douglas County — has made an event out of the cattle coming to graze on some of their open land, said community founder Harold Smethills.

“We’re always looking for fun things to do on Sterling,” he said in an interview. “People are always asking us about the cows.”

The 40 head of cattle were moved by the cowboys and cowgirls to a winter grazing pasture on the west side of the property while residents watched.

The community used the event to teach the residents about why they have cattle there in the first place, Smethills said.

“It’s really one small part but important part of our prairie management plan,” he said.

Before it was a community, Sterling Ranch was a cattle ranch that had been overgrazed and “turned into little more than weeds and dirt,” according to a news release on the event.

The cattle help keep the prairie healthy by eating grass, aerating the

soil and fertilizing the land, Smethills said.

“They’re a part of fire control because they eat grass, so you don’t have fuel for a fire,” he said.

Sterling Ranch hopes to eventually bring in other animals, such as goats and sheep, to support their ecosystem as well.

“You can live in a box over a train station anywhere in the world but at Sterling Ranch, you’re living with the traditions of the West,” Smethills said. “You’re here to enjoy the West and be outdoors and those traditions are what comes together to form something very special.”

The team of cowboys, cowgirls, horses and dogs came from the Clough Cattle Company.

Veteran news leader named Colorado Community Media editor Lisa Schlichtman will oversee CCM’s 8-county news operation

BY STAFF REPORT

The next editor-in-chief of Colorado Community Media is Lisa Schlichtman, an experienced, award-winning news executive and an industry leader.

CCM Publisher Linda Shapley made the announcement Nov. 29.

“I’ve been familiar with Lisa’s award-winning leadership for a number of years, and to have someone with her passion and talent guiding our journalists at Colorado Community Media will mean great things as we look to grow our brand,” she said.

Schlichtman, until recently the editor of the Steamboat Pilot & Today newspaper, joins CCM on Jan. 3.

“I am thrilled to join Colorado Community Media and take on the new role of editor-in-chief,” Schlichtman said. “I look forward to sharing my years of experience in the newspaper industry with CCM’s talented team of reporters and editors with the goal of connecting the communities we serve through engaging, locally-focused content and impactful journalism.”

Schlichtman will lead the news teams of CCM’s two dozen Colorado newspapers and websites as well as

other publications. CCM was sold earlier this year by Jerry and Ann Healey to The Colorado News Conservancy, a partnership of The Colorado Sun and the National Trust for Local News dedicated to fostering community journalism.

CCM newspapers serve Adams, Arapahoe, Clear Creek, Denver, Douglas, Elbert, Jefferson and Weld counties.

“Our publications have tremendous potential and reach, and it is exciting to be part of the newly established Colorado News Conservancy,” Schlichtman said.

Schlichtman succeeds Mark Harden, who retired as CCM editor last fall but has been serving on an interim basis since July while the search was underway for a permanent editor. Harden steps down Dec. 16.

“Lisa is just the sort of dynamic, innovative, experienced news leader who can help CCM reach its greatest potential,” Harden said. “I am so pleased she has agreed to join us and I wish her great success.”

Since July 2013, Schlichtman has been editor of the Pilot & Today, a daily newspaper founded in 1885 and serving Steamboat Springs and Routt County.

Schlichtman and her staff received the Colorado Press Association’s 2020 News Leader of the Year award for a multiplatform, in-depth reporting series, “Indivisible,” which focused on issues of diversity, equity and inclusion in Routt County and efforts to bridge divides. CPA

named the Pilot & Today the state’s best newspaper in its size class for 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2019.

And the newspaper under Schlichtman also received the 2019 Presidential Award from the Colorado Organization for Victim Assistance for its eight-week “In Our Shoes” series on sexual assault.

Schlichtman previously was an editor, co-publisher and co-owner of various publications in Missouri, including the Monnett Times, Cassville Democrat and Wheaton Journal newspapers as well as Ozarks Outdoors and Connection magazines. She began her career as a reporter and assistant editor at the Cassville newspaper.

In addition to her professional career, Schlichtman has been active in helping to support journalism and the news industry.

She is a past president of the Colorado Press Association, the statewide news-media trade group, and is a board member of the Colorado News Collaborative, or COLab, a Denver-based organization that serves as a local media resource hub. Previously she was a vice president and secretary of the Ozarks Press Association.

Schlichtman also has been engaged in community roles. She is a graduate of the 2014 Leadership Steamboat class, a past chairperson of the Cassville Planning and Zoning Commission, and a past board member of the Cassville and Monett Area Chambers of Commerce.

Unlike its neighbors, county is passing on mask mandate Commissioner says hospital system stressed but not broken

BY ELLIOTT WENZLER EWENZLER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

As Denver, Adams, Arapahoe and Jefferson counties implement new indoor mask mandates amid rising COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations, Douglas County’s Board of Health is not considering such a move, according to a county spokesperson.

During a Nov. 23 work session, the county commissioners — two of whom are also county health board members — were updated on the latest COVID-19 figures in the county, which at the time showed about 90 people in local hospitals for the disease and eight deaths so far that month.

The county’s ICU capacity was 101% full and the inpatient beds were 91% occupied, according to the Tri-County Health Department’s data dashboard.

“We are seeing breaking points in other systems around the state and the metro area,” County Commissioner George Teal said in the meeting. “I have an appreciation for the system here in Douglas County being stressed. There’s a big difference between a system being stressed versus a system breaking.”

Teal and Commissioner Lora Thomas both serve on the county’s recently formed board of health.

Unlike nearby counties with new indoor mask-wearing mandates, Douglas County has a public health order in effect that prevents businesses from requiring masks.

While that order originally halted mask mandates in schools, it no longer applies to the school district after a federal lawsuit was filed against the board of health.

Commissioner Abe Laydon suggested in the work session that there are other reasons hospitals are full besides COVID-19 patients, such as staffing shortages.

“We have hospitals that have space,” Laydon said. “They just don’t have the people.”

Laydon said that he had recently visited Castle Rock Adventist hospital and learned that while there are dozens of open beds in the facility, there’s no one to staff them.

“I continue to wrestle with the intellectual honesty around COVID-19,” Laydon said.

Referencing social media posts about “COVID overrunning hospitals,” Thomas asked a county staff member to clarify if that interpretation of the situation is accurate.

“I would say most assuredly this is COVID-related, (but) it’s not COVID-specific,” responded staff member Jon Surbeck.

Brent Boyer, a spokesperson for Centura Health, which runs Castle Rock Adventist, said Nov. 24 he

could not immediately verify the accuarcy of Laydon’s statement regarding open beds in the facility.

Systemwide, about a third of Centura’s ICU patients have COVID-19, Boyer said.

“That number, along with the nationwide struggles to recruit health care workers, continues to make hospital capacity a challenge that we actively manage on a day-to-day basis,” Boyer said.

Linda Watson, a representative for HealthOne’s Sky Ridge Medical Center in Lone Tree, said that while the hospital is busy, it still has capacity to accommodate all patients.

“There is absolutely a staff shortage,” Watson said. “It doesn’t impact our ability to deliver highquality care, but it’s definitely an issue.”

Boyer and Watson both said that another factor adding to the surge is patients who delayed preventive care earlier in the pandemic.

Douglas County recently left Tri-County Health after 55 years, following disagreements with the agency about COVID protections.

The county formed its own health department but still contracts most of its public health services from Tri-County.

While Tri-County does not provide COVID-19 services to Douglas County, it continues to track cases there along with providing other public health services.

The next meeting of the Douglas County Board of Health is set for

Douglas County Commissioner George Teal also serves on the newly-formed county health department’s Board of PHOTO BY ELLIOTT WENZLER Health.

Dec. 8.

Tri-County, which still serves Adams and Arapahoe counties, issued a new public health order on Nov. 22 requiring masks in indoor places through the end of the year.

Jefferson County Public Health’s board and the City of Denver also announced orders requiring masks inside.

In a presentation to Tri-County’s board of health, Dr. John Douglas said that hospital bed capacity in the state is at an “all time low” compared to other points in the pandemic.

In all four counties with mask mandates, businesses can opt out of the mask requirement by implementing a vaccine requirement in their facility.

VOICES In the spirit of the season of giving and receiving

H

ere we are in another season of giving and receiving.

The truth is that we are always in a season of giving and receiving, this time of year just amplifies the spirit of both.

And we have all heard that it is far better to give than it is to receive.

This may be true, but there are times WINNING when it is equally WORDS awesome to receive.

Giving comes in many ways. We can give in the form of money, resources and time. We can give gifts and presents. We can give back to a cause or community, or Michael Norton maybe we can give back to a person or family who had helped us out when we needed it.

We can give through charities and organizations. Many companies, houses of worship, and other organizations have “Giving Trees” where we can choose to help people

and families in need. And we can do all our giving, no matter what it may be, silently and anonymously.

What’s it like to be on the receiving end of gifting? For many of us, no matter where we find ourselves today, we have been in a position of need. We may have had a difficult season of life. We may have endured a tragedy or hardship.

There may have been a time when unexpectedly we found ourselves out of work. Or we may have had an illness or injury that left us unable to care for ourselves or a loved one.

Many of us who can relate to any of these situations, when someone stepped up to help, know just how humbling receiving can feel.

Think of the greatest gift that we have ever received. Maybe it’s the nicest and most expensive, but something tells me it’s not. More than likely, if we give it some deeper thought, we will remember the time our in-laws loaned us a few dollars to cover our mortgage. Or our neighbors stepped up and purchased our groceries.

Maybe it was a time when each

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Review panel should go The Town of Castle Rock has two boards that direct the development of Castle Rock. The Planning Commission is a board of seven members who all live in the Town of Castle Rock. The Planning Commission advises the Town Council on planned developments throughout the town except for downtown Castle Rock.

The Design Review Board was created in 2010 to approve, modify or deny developments in Downtown Castle Rock. This board is also appointed by the Castle Rock Town Council. The Town Council has no say in the development of Downtown Castle Rock.

Currently, two Design Review Board members do not live in the Town of Castle Rock. The most shocking part of Ordinance 2010-20 and Ordinance 2010-28 is that six of the seven decisionmaking board members could not live in the Town of Castle Rock yet would

have the complete and final say-so on the development of Downtown Castle Rock.

Castle Rock has an excellent Development Services Department and a Planning Commission that advises Town Council on proposed developments throughout the Town.

The questions that arise are — why do we have or need a Design Review Board? Why have two boards that provide the same service?

The Planning Commission, Development Services Department, and Town Council have the competency, efficiency, and validity to manage and control the development of Downtown Castle Rock.

The authority, responsibility and accountability should be given to the already existing boards that live in our town. I propose the Design Review Board be dissolved.

friend cooked a meal for us as we balanced being with our spouse in the hospital and taking care of our children. The gift could have been an introduction to an executive who had a job opening at a time when we needed work. The gift could have simply been a hug, a night out with a close friend, some overdue laughs over coffee or a beer.

Being on the receiving end of a gift is humbling. Sometimes, if we let it, it could be embarrassing. This is where I hope to change our thinking about that as there is no shame in accepting any form of help.

You see, in the previous paragraph where I listed the types of gifts we could receive, each one of those is an example of a gift I have received in my own life. A gift that came at just the right time. Some came from family, some came from friends, and some came from strangers. And all were received with humble gratitude.

This holiday season, I encourage us to give the gift of giving and receiving. There are so many opportunities right in front of us to

give of our money, resources, time and talents. And should we find ourselves in the need of a hand up, or a little or a lot of help, let us receive it gratefully and humbly, without reservation or shame. Let’s receive it all in the spirit of love in which it is being given.

As a way of giving back, each year I offer free keynote speeches on the topics I cover in this column throughout the year; Winning Words; Hope and Encouragement; Motivation and Inspiration.

If your organization or company would benefit from such a talk, please let me know. And if you would like to gift one of my talks to an organization or company, let me know that too at mnorton@tramazing.com. And when we allow the spirit of giving and receiving to enter our lives, it really will be a better than good year.

Michael Norton is the grateful CEO of Tramazing.com, a personal and professional coach, and a consultant, trainer, encourager and motivator to businesses of all sizes.

‘Every Age Counts!’ winners announced

A

geism — discrimination based solely on age — can be directed toward younger as well as older GUEST individuals.

It devalues a COLUMN person and negatively impacts each member of our community. It exists in the workplace, it appears in Gretchen Lopez advertising, is portrayed in greeting cards and is promoted in various ways throughout our culture.

The anti-ageism movement is a statewide, national and international effort to change the way people think, speak and act about aging in a more positive and respectful manner.

The Seniors’ Council of Douglas County and its partners, Changing the Narrative Colorado, the Douglas County Libraries and the Douglas

County School District, worked together to support anti-ageism by sponsoring an amateur poetry contest called “Every Age Counts!”

The contest was open to Douglas County residents of all ages competing in several age groups. Contest materials were available in Spanish to encourage our Spanish-speaking residents to participate. A panel of judges composed of teachers, librarians and a published poet recently selected the winners.

Congratulations to Helen Ostrowski, Nic Hussey, Rebecca Hensley, Montana Moore, Gina Popolizio, Jolene Croall, Carol Reed and Ron Saatjian! Each poet captured his or her unique perspective and literary creativity in a poem that presented the positive aspects of aging. The partners and judges applaud your accomplishments and your willingness to take a stand against ageism.

I-25 South Gap project to wrap up early Widening work expands freeway south of Castle Rock

BY DAVID GILBERT AND THY VO THE COLORADO SUN

All lanes of the Interstate 25 South Gap project will open nearly a year ahead of schedule, Gov. Jared Polis and Colorado transportation officials announced Nov. 22.

Construction on the 18-mile stretch of highway was slated to conclude in November 2022, according to the Colorado Department of Transportation.

“By mid-December, in time for Christmas, the I-25 South Gap project team will open all lanes of travel,” Polis said at a news conference in Larkspur, alongside U.S. Sens. Michael Bennet and John Hickenlooper and state and local officials.

The I-25 South Gap from Monument to Castle Rock is Colorado’s longest construction zone. The $419 million project began in September 2018 to relieve congestion and reduce traffic accidents along the highway, a central route between Denver and Colorado Springs that has seen traffic worsen as both metro areas have grown in population.

Nearly 85,000 motorists travel the

highway — unaffectionately nicknamed “the gap” — daily, said Colorado Springs Mayor John Suthers at the news conference.

“Everyone agreed it was unacceptable that the two largest cities in Colorado … Denver and Colorado Springs, were separated by a dangerously narrow section of roadway,” Suthers said.

The project added one new express lane in each direction, widened shoulders, rebuilt five bridges and created four new wildlife crossings.

The expansion will hopefully be a boon to traffic safety, said Col. Matthew Packard, chief of Colorado State Patrol, saying widened shoulders give much more room to first responders, tow trucks, and brokendown motorists.

Packard recalled CSP troopers Jaimie Jursevics and Cody Donahue, who were hit and killed by drivers during traffic stops along the stretch of highway in 2015 and 2016.

“We talked about this project serving as a way to honor their legacy,” Packard said. “We’ve done that… but the most important part of safety is the person behind the steering wheel. Drive like your mom’s watching.”

Although lanes will be reopened to traffic next month, other work along the highway will continue into next spring, said Tim Maloney, vice president of the construction company Kraemer North America.

That includes final paving and

striping, landscaping, and installing 28 miles of new deer fencing. The project also includes modernizing power and communications infrastructure along the highway, which will be completed sometime next year.

Officials are encouraging drivers to slow down and look for workers as they pass through the corridor.

Once the highway opens all lanes, drivers can use the express lanes without paying a toll until testing is complete in fall 2022, according to state officials. Final toll rates have not been determined yet.

Douglas County Commissioner George Teal told The Colorado Sun the expansion project should help ease congestion for roughly the next decade.

“At least that’s better than four years ago, when everyone hated driving through here, and locals told me they quit using this stretch,” Teal said.

Teal called the collaboration between county, state and federal officials an example of bipartisanship, one he sees as extending to the driving public.

“Everybody has to drive on the roads, whether you’re Republican,

Democrat, Libertarian or Communist,” Teal said. “We all need good roads.”

Bennet, the U.S. senator, touted Democrats’ national infrastructure package at the news conference. He told The Sun he didn’t see the project as out of alignment with goals to cut carbon emissions in the face of climate change.

“We’ve got generations worth of delayed infrastructure spending in this country, including existing roads and bridges,” Bennet said, saying that the recently-passed federal infrastructure bill includes substantial funding to build charging stations for electric vehicles or EVs. “We’ve got to make sure as we do all of this,” Bennet said of the highway expansion, “we’re transitioning to a cleaner economy.”

endors at this year’s Cherry Creek North Holiday Market are excited to have conversations with people and help shoppers find the perfect gift.

“People like to support local businesses,” said Erik Swanson, owner and founder of The Log Candle. “Especially when it’s something that somebody made out of their garage.”

The Log Candle is a unique item that Swanson came about through what he called a “happy accident.” Swanson has a background in graphic design, but enjoyed dabbling in woodworking as a hobby. He set out to make a birdhouse in the late spring of 2020, and by June that year, he ended up creating his Log Candle.

Swanson later left his cubicle job and started making the Log Candles full time — selling them at the Mile High Flea Market and outdoor arts-and-crafts markets throughout the metro area.

“People seem to really enjoy them,” Swanson said. “It’s something they have never seen before.”

The Log Candle is, like it sounds, a candle made out of a small log. The logs come from local tree trimmers, Swanson said. When wax is added, it feeds the flame, which spreads across the top, creating the candle effect. It

is meant for outdoor use, and people have enjoyed them for their patios, balconies and porches, Swanson said, adding that some people have even taken them on camping trips.

Swanson, of Englewood, is one 30 vendors at this year’s Cherry Creek North Holiday Market, and many of the 30 are local crafters/artisans or small business owners.

The market, produced by Fetch Concepts and now in its second year, opened on Nov. 18 and runs through Dec. 24. It is located on Fillmore Street between First and Second Avenues.

A family business Madison Stewart’s sons are tending House of Stewart’s booth at the market this year.

“They like the fun atmosphere” of the holiday market, she said, “and that people like tasting the candies.”

The House of Stewart makes traditional Scottish candies. This includes caramels and the Scottish tablet, which isn’t found in the U.S., except for rare occasions such as world markets, said Stewart, owner and founder of the Denver-based business.

The House of Stewart got its start in May 2016. Stewart is an Army veteran and went to law school — the only baking she did was on the weekends for her family.

“I never imagined a career in the candy business,” Stewart said.

However, she frequently traveled back-and-

‘It’s fantastic not working in a cubicle anymore.’

Erik Swanson, owner and founder of The Log Candle

forth to Scotland on leisure trips and enjoyed the Scottish candies so much that she would bring back as many that she could.

“Then I decided that other Americans would probably enjoy the candies as well,” Stewart said.

Today, House of Stewart candies and confections ship across the U.S., and Stewart is looking to open a storefront in Las Vegas early 2022.

People enjoy the candies and fancy packaging, which is catered to adults, Stewart said.

The candies are great for parties or gifts — “And for yourself,” Stewart said. “If you’ve had a hard day and want to treat yourself, why wait for a special occasion?”

Museum shares works of Americans in France Paintings from 1855-1913 on display at Denver Art Museum

BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

“Whistler to Cassatt: American Painters in France,” now open at the Denver Art Museum through March 13, includes more than 100 paintings created between 1855 and 1913 by American painters, some who studied in official and private academies and some who roamed the city and countryside, painting images.

In preceding years, according to Curator Emeritus Timothy Standring, there was a focus on how paintings were done, consideration of the academic technique of the work, but by the period covered, concern had moved to what the painting said about a subject. Controversy still existed over what was most important in a work of art ...

(As it does today!)

This exhibit is an absolute pleasure to contemplate for the lush colors in art that pop against deeply toned walls. Take a deep breath and start walking. Art is hung “salon style,” with a mix of sizes and subjects rather than with all in a neat row. “Do you know how brave it is to tell lenders that work will be hung salon style?” Standring commented.

At the turn of the century, Paris was the center of the art world and acceptance in the Salon (started in 1775) was a goal for artists from France, America and elsewhere.

James McNeill Whistler, John Singer Sargent and Mary Cassatt were among the Americans who arrived to study.

Cassatt, who was 21 when she arrived in Paris, had particular challenges as women were not accepted to the prestigious Ecole des BeauxArtes, nor allowed to socialize in cafes where male artists gathered. But her introductory portfolio was so accomplished that she was accepted in the atelier of Jean-Leon Gerome and supplemented her studies by making copies of masterworks at the Louvre, which she could sell. We are told that she formed a close friendship with painter Edgar Degas.

Other American women artists with works exhibited include Elizabeth Jane Gardner, Cecelia Beaux, Lila Cabot Perry and Elizabeth Nourse.

Standring commented that it has taken 10 years to get this show together. “It becomes more and more difficult to stage a major loan show, with shipping and couriers.” The museum staff has worked steadily on the project.

“Americans could have gone to Dusseldorf, Rome, London,” Standring said as he started his press tour comments. But Paris won their initial interest and they spread out into the picturesque countryside as well.

There are 18 paintings by Cassatt, who did have work accepted/ exhibited in the Salon. Included are early works, such as “The Mandolin Player” (1868) and “Mother and Child” (1889), which Standring

It will then travel to the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts from April 16 to July 31, 2022. Special ticketing is required. denverartmuseum.org, 720-865-5000. Advance reservations recommended.

considers to be her finest work.

A gallery is dedicated to Whistler, illustrating his many different approaches to painting. He began his time in France with study in the atelier of Swiss-born artist Charles Gleyre and works exhibited here include “The Coast of Brittany (Alone With the Tide)” (1861), “Blue and Silver, Dieppe,” (1880-85), “The Sea, Pourville” (1899) and “The Beach at Marseilles” (1901).

Sargent’s paintings are important to the period and this exhibit shows preliminary studies he painted prior to completing the well-known “Fishing for Oysters at Cancale” (1877).

We have in recent years enjoyed a major exhibit of Sargent’s works at the Denver Art Museum, but it’s good to recognize his involvement with these other painters as well.

It was a rich period that carried through in subsequent examples of American art.

An American group, known as “The Ten,” included William Merritt Chase, J. Alden Weir, Frank Benson,

DOUGLAS COUNTY NONPROFIT GIVING GUIDE

www.DCCF.org/nonprofits

Dear Douglas County Residents, Douglas County Community Foundation (DCCF) believes everyone deserves to live a productive and fulfilled life, and we recognize that everyone needs help from time to time. The face of need in Douglas County may surprise you …

Although one of the most affluent communities in Colorado, more than 70,000 Douglas County residents lack an independent health insurance plan. Additionally, a rising number of Douglas County residents experience homelessness, and many more are plagued by food insecurity. But when you give …

Colorado’s largest single day of philanthropic giving is Tuesday, December 7. Douglas County Gives brings together more than 40 organizations that recognize the strength of an empowered nonprofit community. Each member is a qualified Colorado Gives nonprofit, dedicated to promoting, growing and finding synergies among their organizations through increased awareness and the belief that a “rising tide lifts all boats.”

In 2020, more than $1 million was raised to support Douglas County nonprofits through Colorado Gives. This year, every donation scheduled for or made on December 7th will receive a matching portion of the Colorado Gives Day incentive fund of $1.6 million. Let’s keep this upward trend going.

DCCF is proud to be a regional champion for Colorado Gives Day and the “give where you live” campaign. We are grateful to Colorado Community Media for its continued support of our community in the production and distribution of this Giving Guide, which features information about local nonprofits and the work they are doing in Douglas County.

With the season of giving upon us, please consider contributing to one or more of the organizations in the Guide on December 7th and directly helping your neighbors. Visit DCCF.org/nonprofits to schedule your contribution. To learn more about the face of need in Douglas County, visit https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hyboE_3ELgY. With warm regards, Douglas County Community Foundation

Colorado Community Media Gives Back A local newspaper is only as good as the community it covers, so giving back is important to me and many of our readers. As the publisher of Colorado Community Media, we support many causes that improve the quality of life for our readers and communities.

One example is this section, which supports Douglas County Gives Day. We have donated much of the printing and all of the design and editing, to make this section possible.

There are dozens of worthy Douglas County-based nonprofits in this Giving Guide that request your financial assistance on Dec. 8 and throughout the year. Choosing between them will not be easy, but we hope this section will simplify the process. We ask you to open your wallets on Dec. 8 to help make Douglas County an even better place to live by supporting one or more of these quality organizations.

Thank you for being a reader of one of our community newspapers and for supporting local journalism.

Linda Shapley Publisher Colorado Community Media

Colorado Community Media is 24 weekly community newspapers, two monthly newspapers and websites throughout the Denver metro area.

ABOUT US The Crisis Center has been serving adults and children impacted by domestic violence for the past 35 years - most of whom have experienced physical and emotional trauma, sometimes for the majority of their lives. We have seen how violence that begins in the home spreads into the community. If not addressed, domestic violence is detrimental to families and the community as a whole. Without our 24-hour crisis line, emergency shelter, therapy and advocacy programs, those impacted would remain unsafe and without resources to help them work towards greater well-being. Our work would not be possible without your support!

ABOUT US Douglas County Libraries (DCL) inspires a love of reading, discovery and connection in our community through beautiful and functional spaces, curated collections, personalized services, and a variety of premium events for all.

The DCLF helps fund programs that encourage learning for youth, adults and families in Douglas County and across Colorado, and helps ensure the long-term success of our community’s outstanding libraries. Libraries are critical to education, and neighborhood, workforce, and economic development.

ABOUT US Celebrating over 20 years of serving Douglas County!

For more than 20 years, DCSAR and its 70-strong team of volunteers has helped the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office find and extract missing kids, at-risk adults, lost hikers and severely injured climbers.

have partnered with organizations, programs, and government agencies that all have the same goal — to help citizens suffering from all levels of mental illness.

“Mental health is as important as physical health,” Breitzman said. “Poor mental health only increases the risk of poor physical health such as a stroke, heart disease or diabetes.”

According to the National Alliance on Mental Illness, one in five U.S. adults experience mental illness, representing 20.6% of the population.

At the state level, Robert Werthwein, director of the Office of Behavioral Health at the Colorado Department of Human Services, said as work continues in overhauling how the state manages the mental health crisis, the Douglas County approach is on the radar.

“Douglas County leadership at all levels continues to be innovative in meeting the behavioral health needs of their community,” he said. “The Douglas County Mental Health Initiative fits well in the state’s reform of the behavioral health system. The state reform will be heavily reliant on input from local leaders that produce flexible solutions and meet the needs of Coloradans in their communities.”

In September, Werthwein attended a summit hosted by Douglas County, where he stressed that their success is because partnerships and careful program planning have everyone working together and rowing in the same direction.

Developing partnerships Leading the project from the start has been Deputy County Manager Barbara Drake, who in 2014 was directed by county commissioners to lead efforts to develop a mental health program.

Creating a new department was not as simple as saying a program is approved and ready to go. To get it right, Drake said, it took years of planning, organizing, and developing something that would focus on helping all citizens, pushing the message that those having a rough time would have a safe place to turn without judgment or

In 2018, Colorado Community Media consequence.

To make the initiative successful, Drake said, county officials knew it would take a lot of partnerships and buy-ins. That meant partnering with law enforcement, working with hospitals, local therapists, social services, and dozens more agencies and organizations to cut through red tape and help someone struggling to get the help they need.

Laura Ciancone, MHI coordinator, said the county’s commitment to process mapping at the beginning is the reason for the program’s long-term success. Since its inception, MHI has developed 44 partnerships across Douglas County, she said.

Breitzman, of Health Management Associates, commended Douglas County for addressing mental health as a community issue and not just as one agency trying to do all the work without communicating with others.

During a Sept. 23 mental health summit in Douglas County, Werthwein, the director of the Colorado Office of Behavioral Health, said the state’s top agency for handling mental health is way behind the

Werthwein said individual agencies throughout the state are working to solve the growing demand for mental health services. This model has resulted in agencies and organizations competing with each other rather than working together to achieve a common goal, he said.

‘Jails became the de-facto response’ After years of behind-the-scenes planning, organizing and aligning partnerships, MHI officially started helping citizens in 2016 and 2017. According to MHI data, since 2017 the program has served 3,255 unique individuals, and encountered more than 7,092 members of the community.

At the start, Drake said MHI took a serious look at how citizens struggling with mental health were being treated on an initial call, which often involves the police.

Drake said a common problem in America is that when police are called to deal with someone struggling with a mental illness, substance abuse or a crisis, it can

mean handcuffs and arrests, or a trip to an emergency room where they are placed on hold and later just released to return to their vices without help.

“For so long, jails became the defacto response for people,” Drake said. “That just complicates their lives. It creates a record.”

In 2017, the MHI developed a pilot program in partnership with the Castle Rock Police Department. A Community Response Team (CRT) was created where police officers are paired with mental health professionals. The team also includes an emergency medical technician and, on occasion, a case manager.

Commissioners commit funding, time to mental health Progress in Douglas County spreading to state level

BY THELMA GRIMES TGRIMES@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

In 2014, a local tragedy and a continued increase in suicide rates pushed the Douglas County Commissioners to take a serious look at how mental health was being managed, said Lora Thomas.

Thomas, who was elected a commissioner herself in 2016, was the county coroner from 2011 through early 2015. She recalled a “horrific” murder/suicide that, she said, could have been prevented had a struggling young man got the help he needed. Instead, the young man shot his mother, Thomas said, and chased his sisters with a gun before turning it on himself.

Thomas said that developing the Douglas County Mental Health Initiative (MHI) became a necessity.

Led by Deputy County Manager Barbara Drake, MHI has turned into a program aimed at providing assistance and services for people in need of any level of mental health care intervention.

Thomas said MHI is seeing suc-

HEALTH FROM PAGE 33

Instead of tying up police officers who would place a struggling citizen in a jail cell or hospital, the CRT started answering and following up with people, working to provide help and answers.

According to the MHI, since its launch in 2017, the CRT program has: • Helped to avoid “unnecessary” visits to emergency rooms 1,116 times.

• Avoided jail bookings 541 times.

• Released 3,301 law-enforcement officers and 547 fire personnel back into service.

• Avoided an estimated $6.46 million in costs before reimbursement for fire and emergency crews, ERs and the county jail on mental-health matters.

With the adult CRT program working well, Ciancone said data

cess because, through partnerships and leadership, “everyone is rowing in the same direction.”

Thomas said she has dedicated the past decade to addressing mental health needs to put Douglas County a step ahead of a crisis that has only become more prevalent in a pandemic.

In her view, a big reason MHI continues to grow and succeed is a commitment from commissioners to get involved, and to invest the money and resources required.

While similar programs are traditionally grant-funded and might not have the same budget from year to year, commissioners have consistently made funding MHI a regular line item in the county’s general fund budget.

In 2017, the county committed $286,568 to the program. In the 2021 budget, the commissioners are looking at committing just over $1 million. While some revenue is from grant funds, commissioners continue to provide MHI with funding.

Commissioners are also working beyond Douglas County to improve the state of mental health care in Colorado. Thomas is now a member of the newly established Behavioral Health Transformation Task Force subpanel. showed a need to help school-aged elementary students, teenagers and young adults under the age of 25. Through partnerships with local schools and youth programs, MHI developed a Youth Community Response Team.

CRTs do the initial work, making contact and creating an official case file. From there, Drake said citizens are not left in the wind until the next episode. They are assigned to a case manager who does the follow-up work, she said.

She calls them a key to MHI’s success.

An uphill climb Receiving follow-up service is voluntary, but Drake said MHI has had a lot of success getting residents to agree to working with a case manager. According to MHI data, since 2018 an estimated 55.4% of those first contacted have agreed to receive continued assistance.

“The case management system

The Board of Douglas County commissioners speak about the State of the County on PHOTO BY ELLIOTT WENZLER Oct. 27.

During a Sept. 23 mental health summit, Thomas said she will join a panel of 25 lawmakers from across the state to figure out the best way to spend more than $450 million in federal funds earmarked to improve the state of mental health care in Colorado.

The task force was established this year by the state legislature via SB21-137 and its recommendations will be funded by the American Rescue Plan, enacted by the federal government.

County Commissioner Abe Laydon worked throughout the 2021 state legislative session to improve

phone help lines for people struggling. Laydon has applauded the creation of the 988 mental health line, which he believes is “the most significant mental health solution promulgated in a generation.”

The national 988 line, like 911, provides a place for people contemplating suicide to call for help.

Commissioner George Teal said one of his priorities is the health and well-being of veterans. During the annual mental health summit in September, Teal, a veteran himself, said these men and women are not necessarily mentally ill, but instead, “mentally injured.”

keeps services on track,” Drake said. “We want to have meaningful connections that lead to positive results. We act in a facilitation role. It is important to get it right and help people get help they need at whatever level they need it.”

Case manager Steve Kalisch said he and his colleagues have a variety of tools to help cooperating citizens. Services can range from something as simple as offering a cup of coffee to check in, to cutting through the red tape to team citizens up with the appropriate medical professional, making sure medications are correct, finding them the right facilities to deal with substance and alcohol abuse or help in dealing with family dynamics, Kalisch said.

Drake said a common misconception is that programs like MHI are only available for people suffering from a major crisis, or those diagnosed with a specific mental illness. MHI in Douglas County is

available for anyone with any kind of mental health, she said.

“We want to normalize good mental health,” Drake said.

“Sometimes someone is having a bad day. Sometimes something traumatic has happened and they just need some support to deal with it temporarily. Sometimes we all go through times where we need some extra help.”

From the start, Drake said it has been an uphill climb for citizens to get past the stigma associated with mental illness and ask for help when they need it for themselves, a family member, or a child.

The initiative has created a variety of public service programs aimed at educating citizens that mental health is just as important as physical health, a message Drake said continues to be a priority as MHI has continued to grow into a program that is proactive with citizens and families and has expanded to help youth and young adults.

Creek, Valor to meet for Colo. 5A football title Teams to clash Dec. 4 at Empower Field

BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

It’s just what was expected four months ago when the Colorado high school football season started.

Cherry Creek and Valor Christian will play for the Class 5A state championship at 2:30 p.m. on Dec. 4 at Empower Field at Mile High.

Creek (11-2) will be seeking its third straight state championship.

Top-seeded Valor of Highlands Ranch has been a dominate team all season and brings an undefeated 13-0 record into the state title game.

Both teams overpowered their opponents in semifinal contests played Nov. 27.

Cherry Creek took a 38-0 lead into the fourth quarter in a 48-14 victory over Legend High of Parker at the Stutler Bowl, Creek’s home field in Greenwood Village.

Valor rushed for 354 yards in rolling over Grandview High, 37-6, at Valor.

This will be the third time in the past four seasons the teams have faced each other in the state title game. Valor beat Creek 24-14 in 2018 and the Bruins downed the Eagles, 21-0, in last season’s championship game played in Pueblo.

Valor, who will be makings its eighth trip to the state title contest in the past 10 seasons, has won eight state football titles which includes

two in Class 4A and one 3A championship. Creek has taken home 11 state championship trophies.

Cherry Creek was playing in its sixth state semifinal game in seven seasons and put Legend on its heels with big plays and a stellar defense which contained Legend’s potent offense.

“The plan was good on both sides and the kids did a great job of executing,” said Creek coach Dave Logan. “I’m really proud of the kids.

“We’ve battled through a lot of stuff, a lot of injuries. We’ve had key guys go down and yet they have hung in there. We’ve played our best football late in the season which is important.

“When you get his deep in the playoffs a lot of times, it comes down to the ability to run the football and create big plays. You have to be able to do both.”

Senior Ky Oday and junior Carlson Tann had the big plays for Creek.

Oday caught 40 and 75 yard TD passes from quarterback Christian Hammond and returned a kickoff 99 yards for a score. Tann, who gained 133 yards on 10 carries, had a 5-yard TD run and sprinted 73 yards on a second TD gallop.

Even offensive tackle George Fitzpatrick was part of the scoring.

He grabbed a bobbled fumbled that went air born and went two yards for a TD. Boden Page kicked two field goals for the Bruins.

“We were clicking on all cylinders and we will be good next week,”said Oday who had four catches for 146

yards. “We’ve been looking forward to them (Valor) all year.”

Logan knows the title game will be a challenge.

“Valor is a great team,” said Logan. “They’ve been ranked No. 1 all year long. We a game that will be a big, big challenge for us. We look forward to the opportunity.”

Legend senior Bryce Vaz had 98 yards rushing with one touchdown and threw a 7-yard TD pass to Brecken Reiser.

Titans coach Monte Thelen, whose team finished with an 11-2 record, credited Creek and also praised his team.

“Their defense is really stout and we had trouble tackling them,” he said. “Tip your hat to Cherry Creek.

They played very well.

“I think we are one of the top programs in the state. We’re 27-6 in the last three years and been to two Final Fours and a Sweet 16. That’s a positive reflection on Legend football despite this disappointment.”

Valor’s senior running back Gavin Sawchuck, who has committed to play at Oklahoma, rushed for 176 yards and three touchdowns in the Eagles win over Grandview (10-3).

Jordan Norwood ran for two Valor TDs.

Much more to ‘wander’ about The Holiday Market is part of Cherry Creek North’s Winter Wanderland, which offers a variety of free, festive activities for the entire family. The Winter Wanderland Light Walk features Cherry Creek North’s 600 trees adorned with nearly a million lights.

Another not-to-miss attraction is the U.S. debut of the Creos company’s “domino effect,” created by Ingrid Ingrid and located at Third Avenue and Milwaukee Street.

Creos is a Canadian company that presents touring interactive installations. The interactive and musical traveling art installment came to Cherry Creek North from Montreal, and will only be in Denver until Dec. 31.

“We want to provide a place for our community to create lasting memories they return to year after year,” said Nick LeMasters, president and CEO of the Cherry Creek North Business Improvement District, in a news release.

“This event has grown into an incredible opportunity for families to feel the glow of the holidays around every corner in Cherry Creek North.”

Something unique and interesting to be found The walkable Cherry Creek North neighborhood includes 275 businesses, of which, 70% are locally owned, said Jeannie McFarland Johnson, director of marketing and communications for Cherry Creek North.

By shopping locally, not only can people help small businesses thrive, but they also won’t need to worry about the supply chain, McFarland Johnson.

“It’s fantastic not working in a cubicle anymore,” The Log Candle’s Swanson said, pointing to the community’s support for some of the success of his smallbusiness venture.

People like shopping at holiday markets because they can find something unique, and see interesting things, Swanson said.

He expects to have lots of different, fun conversations with people at this year’s Cherry Creek North Holiday Market, he said.

And he expects people will gather around the Log Candles’ fire, he said.

“Because it puts out a little warmth,” Swanson said.

School district drops suit against Dougco health department Case now moot with change to COVID order, district says

Oct. 26, halting enforcement of the opt-out health order. The restraining order was later extended and had been set to last through at least Nov. 22.

On Nov. 12, the health department amended its order so that the school district would be exempt.

The health order as amended still applies to private businesses, including childcare centers and private schools.

The Douglas County School District says it has accomplished what it set out to do when it filed a federal lawsuit against the Douglas County Health Department, and recommended the case be dismissed.

exempt from enforcement of the October 8 PHO, plaintiffs have succeeded and have fulfilled the purpose of the lawsuit they brought and there is no need to further litigate the matter,” the release said.

A DCSD spokesperson said the district was not providing additional information when asked for comment from Superintendent Corey Wise and school board President David Ray. Douglas County Board of Health President Doug Benevento provided a statement.

“We amended our order consistent with the ruling of the court and look forward to working with the school board on the path forward,” he said.
